MANY South Yarra residents are making the switch and going green. The suburb now has one of the highest populations of Green Power users in Victoria. More than 78,730 South Yarra residents use Green Power, which is generated from renewable energy from the sun,wind, water and waste. People can chose what proportion of their electricity comes from Green Power when they make the switch. But to use solely Green Power costs roughly $5 more a week than standard power companies.
Prahran state Labor MP Tony Lupton said the number of South Yarra residents using Green Power had almost doubled in the past year.
‘‘These households will collectively cut green house pollution by the equivalent of removing 27,042 cars from Victoria’s roads,’’ Mr Lupton said.
